A single from that album–Star Wars Theme and Cantina Band–was a smash hit both with disco DJs and Star Wars fans; it went on to become the only instrumental single certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America and, in the process, the most popular musical recording based on a Sci-Fi television show or movie.

For a brief moment in history, thousands of people were getting their disco groove on to the theme song and score of what would go on to become one of the most iconic Sci-Fi movies of all time.
